Product Overview
Biochemazone Artificial Cholesterol Fluid BZ265, also called simulated cholesterol fluid, is a sterile, ready-to-use cholesterol-containing fluid at pH 6.0 to 6.8 for laboratory work on cholesterol measurement. It gives a consistent, non-human sample for developing and checking cholesterol tests, in place of patient serum or body-fluid specimens.
Cholesterol is measured in serum when screening for cardiovascular disease, and in body fluids such as pleural and peritoneal fluid, where a high cholesterol concentration helps to identify a cholesterol-rich (pseudochylous) effusion, to separate exudates from transudates and to tell malignant from non-malignant ascites. BZ265 is used as the test fluid when such methods are set up and compared.
It is supplied stabilized and has a 1-year shelf life unopened; a preservative-free version (6-month shelf life) and a dried Powder Version Kit are available on request. The pH and the contents can be customized to the project. This simulated fluid is for scientific research and in vitro use only; it is not for clinical diagnosis or treatment. For a plasma or serum matrix see Artificial Plasma Fluid (BZ273) and Simulated Blood Serum (BZ278).
